Almost everything on Systematic Chaos
A Rite of Passage
Status Seeker

How?

[Nekov]

Again great choices but still too low in the list. Given what we've had before it wouldn't surprise me if the next two are Octavarium and A Change of Seasons

DT's worst song is Raw Dog, we already know that.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Well worst song ever, yeah, Raw Dog probably.

On studio albums, Constant Motion.

Raw Dog and Constant Motion are both awesome songs!! Its TDEN that sucks.

Anyway.....

31. Bridges in the Sky

When I first heard the snippet, I thought, "Systematic Chaos". I still don't know why I did. One of the best intros in any DT song, and the Shaman just makes it better. One of the highlights of the song is the "Carnival sounding riff?" at 2:14. When I first heard it, I was all Holy shit. Many here may say it has one of their best choruses and years, and I'll mostly agree. My favorite favorite favorite part is "and at last the time has come..." blah blah. You know, cause you heard it.

I'm not sure that it exactly sounds like a "carnival" riff, but yeah, that part of the song is badass. It's been my ringtone ever since the album came out.

[Nekov]

Well worst song ever, yeah, Raw Dog probably.

On studio albums, Disappear.

Fixed.

Predict.

ACOS & 8VM?

[TheGreatPretender]

The worst DT songs (I still like them, just not a whole lot)

Almost everything on Systematic Chaos

That boy ain't right.

[theseoafs]

Nah, he's right. Systematic Chaos has a pretty handsome number of 4th-tier DT songs on it.

[BlobVanDam]

SC at its worst is still worlds above their worst.

SC at its worst is still worlds above their worst.

I politely disagree. The only song on SC that I think might stand up to the rest of DT's catalog is Prophets of War, which is the only track that I find inoffensive in every way (and I don't even consider this song especially good). As it stands, most of SC's tracks have extremely glaring flaws, most of which stem from simple unimaginativity.

Well, I politely disagree with all of that. I think Systematic Chaos is their best album since Scenes From A Memory.

Should you be implying that SC is better than 6DOIT, then I am afraid, good sir, that we will have to take this outside.

But even despite their flaws, they are still clearly songs written by very skilled songwriters in the melodies, riffs, harmonies, whereas WDADU lacks a lot of even the most basic songwriting knowledge, and fails far worse than anything DT have written since IaW. There's just not even a basic for comparison with how poorly written some of those WDADU songs are.

[TheGreatPretender]

I'm not implying it. I'm saying it. Six Degrees is a great album, but it's dragged down by The Great Debate and Goodnight Kiss. Whereas, every song on Systematic Chaos (maybe aside from Repentance) ranges from simply rocking to being a masterpiece. And I know, most people will disagree with me, but that's my opinion and I stand by it.

22. Space-Dye Vest

This is the most controversial song in DT's discography. It seems people either love it, or hate it. I for one, love it, and consider it the best from Awake. The melodies are atmospheric and haunting. After an album of up and downs, this is truly one of the best album closers I have ever heard. The ending gives me chills every time, and these are Kevin's best lyrics. Definitely one of the more unique songs they've created.



21. A Change of Seasons


Damn. What an epic. MP at his best lyrically, and maybe at drumming as well. Every single time I hear this, I find something new to appreciate about it. Sherinian's organ sound and "train" sound is fucking amazing. When most people get asked what their favorite part of ACOS is, they usually respond with "Another World". Well, not me. Carpe Diem is a masterpiece itself. Another World is amazing though. Sickly hypocrites.

[TheGreatPretender]

A Change Of Seasons at 21? Dude, if you have New Millennium or The Great Debate higher on your list, then your opinions are officially negated forever in my eyes.

[BlobVanDam]

It's refreshing to see ACOS out of the way before the top 20, even though I do like the song, just not enough to consider it top 20. Biscuit, you are throwing curveballs left, right and center. And everyone is getting hit with your balls. You play a dangerous game.

[wolfandwolfandwolf]

There's no way you're not trolling right now.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

20. New Millennium

What a badass mother fucker. One of the top songs from DT's most underrated album. It is the funkiest, and funnest DT song I have ever heard. MP's drumming is amazing, and I don't care what James says, his vocals here are outstanding. Most would not put it this high, but oh well. It is still one of their top album openers. I'm gonna listen now. Oh, and the chorus is amazing.

[BlobVanDam]

New Millennium is quite underrated. I wouldn't put it that high, but still a cool pick to see.

[TheGreatPretender]

Seriously?? Really?? My god... Dude, I hereby officially proclaim you the Homer Simpson of this forum. A character who everyone loves, but no one should take seriously.

Hey now, I know SDV shouldn't be on any top 50 list, but that's no reason to entirely dismiss him.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

I changed my user title and sig.

[theseoafs]

New Millenium > ACOS > Metropolis?

New Millennium is a fine song, but it's not THAT fine.

You're probably right about that one. I don't like WDADU and generally ignore it in discussions and rankings (retcon). Even taking WDADU into account, though, that doesn't suddenly make SC permissible; in my view, WDADU is a rather amateurish album written by prodigious but inexperienced songwriters, whereas SC was a major blunder brought on, perhaps, by overconfidence and overcomfortability in their own songwriting ability.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

I get this feeling when I'm listening to New Millennium.

RETCON? Who do you think you are? Me?!
Even though I rank SC lower, I still think it's a great album, so I'll just agree to disagree with you on that one.

, says the guy who said that SC is better than 6DOIT.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

In my top 50, you will surely find out which of those 2 albums I enjoy more.

[Scorpion]

Bizkit, I... don't know what to say.

For the first time, DTF has rendered me speechless.

Wait, aren't you the guy who jumps all over people for stating opinions as facts, only to now spout that drivel?  Puh-lease.
